She’ll be coming round the mountain!

It’s a passion of ours to go up Felltimber Hill. Sometimes we take our bikes, other times we just walk. It relieves stress, it’s peaceful and calming. You become at one with nature.

We wanted to make this video because not many people know about the beauty of Felltimber Hill. We wanted them to appreciate the views and the animals that live there. Sometimes you can see eagles gliding, kookaburras, kangaroos, brown snakes, tawny frog mouth owls and foxes. In the distance you can hear cows mooing from distant paddocks, kytes whistling in the sky and cicadas buzzing in the air during summer.

We made this ABC Open Video Postcard as a start of what we hope will become a life-long career, spreading the word about conservation and wildlife in its natural beauty.

During our workshops we learnt about planning the shoot, story-boarding, filming, script-writing, voice-overs and editing. We chose the location and we walked up the hill with our recording equipment and spent a few hours filming. We then spent time editing, recording the voice-overs and choosing the music. Our favourite part was definitely the editing, and we loved seeing how the visuals, the voice-overs and the music all came together to tell the story.

We'd love to know about your favourite part of the region....where do you head to, when you need to get away from it all?

I have had the pleasure of teaching and working with Livvy and Stacey for over three years and am in awe of Livvy's conviction and passion for wildlife and the environment. She really is a wildlife warrior and I'm sure we'll be seeing more videos from these girls in the future. Well done on a great video that captures your passion for a beautiful piece of nature.

Hello ! Great video ladies. I loved what you had to say about Felltimber hill and being out bush generally. I could really relate to that special feeling you described so well. I also loved the footage of the possum eating the flower and scratching itself.. Thanks for telling us about Felltimber :)
best wishes,
Amira
